Never admit a mistake, so said the OSS.

About Me

People say I'm a rebel. I just don't like rules. So I've lived most of my life not minding what people said of me. As a result, if they did say anything about me, it wasn't much. Not that I had anything to say about them.
One day I realized I'd been waking up on the wrong side of twenty for what seems like forever. So, I decided that this all had to stop. Stop the world, I want to get off and all that.
In my sorrow I: stopped being a bum, got married, and finished law school. It hasn't all worked out yet, as I jave yet to take the Bar. Anyway, don't ask me why I'm a law student. I don't know, either.
One day, hopefully, if you see an advert in a pub window for legal services, stop a while and have a lager. I'll whip you up something good.

My Interests

Reading, writing, and arithmetic. The basics, really. Did I mention that I like to write? It's therapeutic.

I'd like to meet:

People who aren't lemmings. People who like good music. People who dislike artifice as much as I do. Work hard. Party even harder. Say four letter words. Mean them. People who are comfortable with themselves.

Music:

Anything that can be performed live. I'm a sucker for live music.

Movies:

An Inconvenient Truth, Bowling for Columbine, Clerks

Television:

NBA TV, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Heroes

Books:

One L by Scott Turow. Statutory Construction by JJ Laurel. Parry & Grant's Encyclopedia of International Law. The Hite Report. Oppenheim I and II. YAFS II. One Hundred Strokes of the Brush before Bed.

Heroes:

Hiro Nakamura. Susie Bright. Bono. Freddie Mercury. Eddie Vedder. Ozzy Osbourne. Chuck Palahniuk. Hunter S. Thompson. Jenna Jameson. Hugh Hefner. Andy Kaufman. Michael Stipe. My wife.

One hour drill -- 3:58, 10/11/2003

I shouldn't be doing this. Writing, I mean. I've got around 400 pages of case law to read and two papers to write. Catch is, I've got to get them all done by the weekend so I can spend next week ma...
